Get the hang on by JOSHUA P ROGERS

Comments: Turboflotor is a good little skimmer but the Stand Alone model is hard to set up and requires an additional pump. Also this model comes with a Rio water pump that is lower quality. Save your self the trouble and get the Hang-on model with the better pump even if its going in a sump! I've use both models on a 90 gallon reef. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is one of the BEST (For the Price) skimmers I have used. The Skimmer collection cup came craked. I called the 800 number for MarineDepot toaled with them and with in a week got a new cup. NAVITIVE The only draw back is.That if you do not install a return feed line from the overflow to the pump supplied.You must supply a pump for sump to run this monster. All in all its a Great Skimmer. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I bought one of these 3 years ago, and it's still going. I originally used it hang-on, but later put it in sump. I think it works even better in sump. It's the great skimmer nobody ever talks about. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: It took a couple of days until it started to work right but now it is doing an awsome job. The collection cup has to be emptied every other days and it contins a brown disgusting liquid. I never thought the water in my tank was so dirty. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Wanna Be A Balla' by PETE SILVESTRI

Posted on 9/21/2007 from BRIGHTON, MI UNITED STATES

Comments: Look no further. This is the skimmer for any size reef tank. Currently skimming a forty gallon Acro. and SPS reef, removing about two cups of brown syrup a day. Installation and assembly was a breeze. About 16 hours for total break in but still skimmed some yellow liqiud during the process. With the skimmer in my room, its quiet operation was appreciated. I am 100% Satisfied with this product and you guys:) Worth every penny. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Turobfloater lasted 11 Years! by WEST MARINE DIESEL

Experience Level: Expert

Posted on 9/20/2007 from SAN DIEGO, CA UNITED STATES

Comments: I purchased this skimmer to replace the same model earlier version that lasted 11 years. The newer version skimmer has an improved design exactly where my old skimmer came apart (intake tube). One other significant change was the use of the Ocean Runner 2700 vs. the Rio 2500. I have had numerous instances where my Rio 2500 would not start up after powering off to service the skimmer. The skimmer out flow options of down tube or filter box is also a plus should you have limited space restrictions in you sump. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

excellant low cost skimmer by rockitrob

Comments: Great low cost skimmer well built for the sump. I use the cheaper rio pump for a year now with no problems. A ball valve on the intake controls heavy or light skimate. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

good stuff. by JOSE MARTINEZ
